hey, welcome to the forum!
I like the direction you were heading with the water splashes on his shoulder, you rendered that area pretty well. In future pieces try adding more color variation and also work the lights and darks a bit more. I like the level of anatomical detail you've worked into the piece, proportions are also pretty well ballanced. Keep practicing and posting and also try to play with more dynamic views and work on perspective as well. Stick around here long enough and you're bound to improve. Hope to see more stuff from you soon.

It's very good compared to many of the other first posts.

My only real problem is with the rain. The way it drips off him makes it look more like goo then water. Maybe you should make the er..."drips" shorter, instead of giving them a look like they are hanging there.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for all the great crits!

For some reason I had alot of trouble getting darks to look right on this beast. I tried the burn tool and many variations of settings to try to get things to look right, but it turned out looking like garbage or rotting milk that has turned black.
I also think the foreground needs to fade more into the background as well, but i've also had trouble with that.

Thanks for the crits again, they were very helpful, and helped me look at things that I didn't see right off. Thanks lot!

first post::it is great fro that

i think that the drips should be shorter like others have said, and it would look cooler if maybe they came down @ a angle (most people have theb starit down) but at a angle they could create a nice mood, and maybe darken the dragon/beast! the idea and concepts used are great. like the ripples and everything. KEEP IT UP!

I could think of a dirtier word that "goo" but mebbe I just need to get my mind outa the gutter

Heheheh. Yeah, I definitley didn't want that to look like "goo", he's not that kind of dragon.
